About this map

Broadway serves as the central hub for this portion of Lee and Harnett Counties, situated in a landscape defined by the winding course of the Little River. In the late 1970s, the area reflects a transition from traditional rural patterns to more leisure-oriented developments, notably anchored by the Carolina Trace Country Club and the sprawling waters of Lake Trace. The map preserves the traces of a former transportation network, with an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the terrain near Seminole and Ryes.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of rural religious centers, such as Poplar Springs Ch, Salem Ch, and Love Grove Ch, each with associated cemeteries. Smaller settlements and named points like Goins, Swann, and Harrington are interspersed among water bodies like Little Lick Creek and Fall Creek. An unusual industrial feature, the Minnow Fish Hatchery, is also documented northwest of the main town.
